While this class has no required supplies, students are invited to come dressed in their own Pride attire to share in the festivities! 

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Pride is a time when the LGBTQ+ community often revels in reclaiming terms that have been used to hurt us in the past. I will identify groups by the names and identities they have reclaimed in a respectful way, such as the Dykes on Bikes motorcycle club and the Pansy Patrol. Within this context, these words are a celebration of a community that has overcome many hurdles but continues to fight for equality. 

We will touch (lightly) on some current events, such as anti-drag laws in the US and police violence at some global Pride events, and how those events directly impact Pride parades and marches. This is not the focus of this class, but is used to emphasize that Pride is a celebration of not only who we are, but what we have overcome and are still facing as a community.
